Synopsis

This text combines the probabilistic approach and the use of fuzzy set theory to analyze the questions or risk and reliability in water quality. It also develops a methodology to assess, evaluate and control the risk of water pollution and the environment impact from wastewater disposal on rivers, groundwater and coastal areas. Other topics covered include: stochastic and fuzzy simulation of hydrosystems; decision theory under uncertainty - groundwater pollution; and risk management, elements of multiobjective trade-offs. This book is intended for students, engineers and scientists working in the field of water resources and environmental water quality

About this title

From the Back Cover

Jacques G. Ganoulis Engineering Risk Analysis of Water Pollution Probabilities and Fuzzy Sets Question: How can I best evaluate the environmental impact and find the risks of water pollution from wastewater disposal? Answer: In a unique and comprehensive way, this book analyzes the questions of risk and reliability in water quality. And more than that: it also develops a methodology to evaluate the environmental impact from wastewater disposal on rivers, groundwater and coastal areas. Major topics covered include:

• fuzzy set theory for engineering risk analysis
• uncertainty analysis of water quantity and quality data
• stochastic and fuzzy simulation of hydrosystems: model selection under uncertainty, water quality management in rivers and aquifers, risk in coastal pollution
• decision theory under uncertainty: groundwater pollution, risk management, risk-cost trade-offs

In addition, numerous case studies deepen the reader?s understanding of the methods and techniques presented. Jacques Ganoulis has written extensively in groundwater hydraulics, surface hydrology and coastal water quality.
